"The Kiwi's Tale" is a cute platform game that was created for the Retro Remakes Competition 2008. It was loosely inspired by "The New Zealand Story" which was published by Taito in 1988.

"Nik the Kiwi and his mates are relaxing on Stewart Island one sunny day. All is going well. Suddenly a UFO controlled by a mad Alien sheep comes along and abducts Nik's Kiwi mates! It seems that the sheep are envious of Kiwis being the icon of New Zealand and want revenge.
And so Nik sets off to rescue his kiwi mates, travelling through New Zealand to rescue them." (taken from the manual)

Looking at the cute graphics you might expect "The Kiwi's Tale" t be an easy game made for children. But you should better not judge a book by its cover. In fact the game gets quite hard after a few levels. There are many different enemies and a great variety of actions you can perform. So look forward to capture airplanes and helicopters from enemies or to take over their weapons. And help the friendly kiwis to get rid of the evil sheep.
